  1. Our Challenge • GT Aware Home Research Center • A true home lab, built as two separate homes within a house • A place for evaluating home-based research prototypes • A Living Lab between the laboratory and the field trial • Difficult to show off • 10+ years of research content to highlight • Often in transition • Located in a residential area, just off campus • Limited parking and too far to walk quickly • Demos for visitors are a challenge

  2. Video Conferencing Is Still Lame! • Too many limitations • Flat, 2D experience • No way for the viewer to control what they are seeing • Still not conducive to casual interaction • Want a more personal, interactive experience • Ability to “look around” the room • Easy access to related content • Collaborative control

  3. Magic Window Highlights • Head tracking, gesture interface • Allows natural body movement to control what the user sees • Head tracking to adjust focus and field of view • Hand gestures for navigating related content • Rich video • Panoramic image that supports movement through the space • Augmentations to enhance the information conveyed • Asynchronous access to Rich Interactive Media • Browse graphs and images • Watch videos, including steerable panoramas • Interact with 3D models

  4. Magic Window Technologies • Affordable, standards-based components • 2K HD Pointgreycamera with Fujinon Fisheye lens • Kinect for gesture interface • HTML5 Web-based platform, WebRTC streaming • WebGL for de-warping and augmentation • Software Defined Networking • Network APIs exposed to the application • Used to control network operations and dynamic content enhancements and optimizations • FloodLight controller, NEC and HP OpenFlow switches

  5. Georgia Tech Installation

  6. GENI Demonstration

  7. Benefits of GENI • Magic Window Challenges • High bandwidth video – 2K HD today, 4K planned • Client cannot do all of the augmentation processing • Need to push processing into the network, close to the data • GENI Features Leveraged • Slice-able network and service allocation • Experiment with processing “in the core” • Ongoing Experiments and Extensions • Multi-stream, multi-source content • Video analytics • Move control farther upstream

  8. Thank You to Our Sponsors

  9. Magic Window Demo Team • GT • Brian Davidson, SaurabhSabnis, Jeff Wilson • Lan Wang, Haozhe Li, Chris Hoffecker • Maribeth Gandy Coleman, Bobby Strickland • Siva Jayaraman, Matt Sanders, Russ Clark • GPO • Niky Riga and Tim Upthegrove
